About us

Aunt Butchie’s, located at 4864 Arthur Kill Road, is a cafe on one side and dining room on the other. The cafe is fun and loud with a partially open kitchen. Breads, cookies, cakes, and pastries line a wall near the main entrance. The opposite side of the cafe has a colorful array of prepared food platters behind a sleek showcase.

There, a state of the art baking facility was established, yet still keeping the family touch. Irene Santo, aka “Aunt Butchie", and her son Frank, in spite of their success, insist on overseeing all aspects of the day to day operation, ensuring only the finest ingredients and highest standards are met with every dessert sold.

For more than 20 years, Aunt Butchie’s family-owned bakery has served up mouth-watering, Legendary Desserts such as Cheesecakes, Mousse cakes, Caramel Cones, Tartufos, and more to restaurants and consumers throughout the New York Tri-state area.

Frank Santo joined forces with Chef Pete Marcolini, Joseph Pernice and Joseph Marcolini to share their family traditions and delicious recipes with consumers on Staten Island.

The owners of Aunt Butchie’s of Brooklyn, Italian Kitchen & Legendary Desserts decided to bring their concept to a new location in Marlboro, New Jersey located at 430 Route 9 North. The concept for this restaurant is to create the same family-oriented atmosphere as is offered in the Staten Island location. The vision for this location is based solely on renovating an existing space into something new and fresh. This restaurant is designed with love while incorporating rich, rustic materials balanced with sleek, clean, contemporary elements.

Aunt Butchie’s looks forward to establishing new relationships in this location and enticing consumers to enjoy this “Home Away From Home” concept. This old world with a twist of contemporary concept channels through every aspect of the restaurant, from the decor to the recipes.

Staten Island Location

Aunt Butchie’s Desserts started in 1992 in a small room above Armani’s Restaurant on Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island. The dream was to take family dessert recipes and share them with neighborhood restaurants. To satisfy the overwhelming demand, they moved to their current location in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn, New York, on the corner of 69th Street and 13th Avenue.

The dining room has a warm and inviting atmosphere, as well as a full service bar. The dining room accommodates up to 120 people and is available for private parties.Aunt Butchie’s is not only a cafe that offers cakes and coffee and prepared food, but we also have a full restaurant featuring a variety of italian specialties.
